Sink

Abandon ship the crew is going down
shake all the hands with somber frowns
avoid last apologies there is no time to think
spining into undiscoverable sink
Get your sea legs we are going down
slowly spinning into the sound
Women and children first
the sea has to tends an unquenchable thirst
avoid last apologies there is no time to think
spinning into a discoverable sink

No Kiss

They say that animal's need their space
inside we're cannibals
the human race
cut off our nose to spite our face
Let's split some hairs
let's see what we're about
the lion's share
a pound of flesh an eye for an eye
It won't be soon before too long
you find your shell hallow and drawn
Climb the mountains what do you see
looking on its vacancies
mystified by what you've found
life on earth has let you down
Pull up a chair
force feed your appetite
reach down your throat
the time is right
It's fight or flight
we struggle tooth and nail
sew up the bites
call out the wolves
cause we're all lambs
It won't be soon before too long
you find your shell hallow and drawn
Climb the mountains what do you see
looking on its vacancies
mystified by what you've found
life on earth has let you down

How We Treat Girls

I get up
whoa
I get up so you can sit back down
I'll stand up when you can't stand the sound
I stand
whoa
I stand up so you can sit back down
I'll get up
whoa
I'll get up when you can't stand the sound
The bruises on your knees the dirt beneath your feet
I'll worship it and not speak unless spoken to
You're pretty
I want to touch your shiny face
and feel love
Please take your hands off my f*cking face
The bruises on your knees the dirt beneath your feet
I'll worship it and not speak unless spoken to
Not speak unless I'm spoken
Not speak unless I'm spoken
Not speak unless I'm spoken too

Tell Me These Things
03:10
|

A man told me
Son, to be thyself and only good things will come
oh
Then he showed me how to beg and steal and cheat
Console me, cause I get what I take and break what I love
Stab me in the front
Don't stab me in the back
Stab me in the front
Use a dull blade (x2)
Use a dull blade
Fortune called me
I'm the next in line to take all the good things that will come
Let me show you how to beg and steal and cheat
What would you do?
Cause I get what take and I break what I love
Stab me in the front
Don't stab me in the back
Stab me in the front
Use a dull blade (x2)
Use a dull blade

Tempt
05:24

The other night she came to me
and held her fruit for me to see
and on her face there was a smile as I bit into her apple
She found me just when I was weak
and she offered herself to me
a recipe for disaster, my mid filled with the devil's laughter
I'll give you one chance to tempt me
So make it good
Light me on fire and take me
the way you should
Cause in her eyes there was a fire
that kindled such a great desire
impossible to resist her
my mind filled with the devils laugher
She found me just when I was weak
and she offered herself to me
a recipe for disaster, my mid filled with the devil's laughter
I'll give you one chance to tempt me
So make it good
Light me on fire and take me
the way you should
I'm going to hold you tight and let you follow
I want to live tonight, not die tomorrow
Run fingers through your hair, Ill take you with me
I'll kiss you here and there, around your body
Cause in her eyes there was a fire
that kindled such a great desire
impossible to resist her
my mind filled with the devils laugher
I'll give you one chance to tempt me
So make it good
Light me on fire and take me
the way you should (x4)

Book of Matches
03:58

|

Eyes they burn and itch and sting
soak the rags in gasoline
all are dirty, you will see
Choke, the smoke will make you whole
and hold it
Book of matches made divine
from ashes all your precious time
you waited for a chance to shine
the strangest things you find can make you whole and pure
Know thyself before you know any else
make it burn
Know thyself before you know any else
make it burn
Light the match it will be the last
make it burn
feel the dirt beneath your knees
beg me please

Devil in the Truth
05:13
|

I am a sandbag to the flood
fairweather friends will drown in blood
this will be the way to self destruct
something really big is on the cusp
Are you someone else
Open up your mouth and make a sound
heavy f***ing armor will bring you down
not collected I am keen
If we keep a secret we keep it clean
You are someone else
Feel that sick and learn to fake it
Devil in the truth don't know what to do
tow the line our ships our vacant
Devil in the truth
Who knows right from wrong
I saw it all along
Loosen up babe and shake it off
I am the last thing you should cross
Tie your hands open your eyes
happy endings bloody suprise
Now you are someone else
I am really good at what I do
I am the beast, we are few
take it back home and tell your friends
dirty little truths and bitter ends
Feel that sick and learn to fake it
Devil in the truth don't know what to do
tow the line our ships our vacant
Devil in the truth
Who knows right from wrong
I saw it all along

Burn it all Down
03:42
|
|||
You always move to fast
take time and slow it all down
connect the dots with glass
and let it all just flow now
burn bridges as you pass
rain down upon us brothers
show no love for your past
confuse your kin for others
You wanna burn it all down?
Sift through the ashes in time to learn
Burn your brides to the ground
Burn baby burn It's a beautiful sound (x2)
You always move to fast
chained hearts are left for others
still smoking from the blast
kiss on the cheek for lovers
Love line of coke is your past
breath it in till you smother
this chapter is the last
all bets are off
You wanna burn it all down?
Sift through the ashes in time to learn
Burn your brides to the ground
Burn baby burn It's a beautiful sound (x2)

So Sweet
03:52

You got a stormy heart and a silent tongue to match
The touch of that velvet glove won't cover up the scratch
You keep the receipts, cause I'll return you back
I'll be at your feet when your words turn black
You always want more, that's the way it goes
Secrets in store so no one knows
You keep the receipts, cause I'll return you back
I'll be at your feet when your words turn black
Now a change of key you will see what I will be, in a few shortcoming years
Twelve distant memories haunt your every thought of me
blinding purpose and all fears
Woah, its so nice now that she can tell no lies
sun in her face now there is no disgrace
Woah, its so nice now that she can tell no lies
and its so sweet
